Work Wives

WTF, I got married years back and I didn't notice it.

Don't worry girls, I am still single, ready to mingle, it's just work wives. (rofl)

Wikipedially, a Wife is a partner in marital relationship.

And Work-spouse is a co-worker, usually of opposite sex with whom we share a special relationship, having bonds as marriage. Now, it's not a new term, it was coined in 1930's with the movie "The Office Wife".

My own definition of work wives is people with whom we come office in same car. We work in same place, lunch at a single table, go back home again together and ... Don't get any naughty ideas. But the true fact is, most bachelors staying away from home, sleeps below the same roof. Such bachelors are no more single, they become Work Wives. Good thing is their relationship is without any commitments. They are friends with material and work benefits.

Work-wives are there right from the time, when you come out of your home. They are known as friends at that time. As soon as you step foot into professional world, you officially have work spouse. There are rare chances when such relationship becomes more than work and goes personal. In other words, they become gf/bf and finally the end-Marriage. Rest of the time, people have boundaries. Work wives can vary from 1 to many depending on the interests and need. 

Funny thing is you don't even notice when you move together. Then you take below vows:

1. Rotational basis cooking and cleaning.

2. Taking care of Groceries.

3. Taking care of rent and other bills etc.

Yes, knife fights happens here as well. But don't you think its part and parcel of life. Sometimes, people get divorce also resulting in change of apartment. 

Still I like such marriages as they provide someone for everyone. They take care of you when in need. They teach you to live in harmony, to cook and share.

Unfortunately such marriages have an ending too. They end when you change your company/location or you actually get married. With this post, I would like to thanks my work wives for bearing me. I know I can be annoying sometimes, but lesser than you.

I will now leave you, to be with your work wife.

My Experiments with Food

Aalubade

I love the time when my Kitchen turns into a Lab and me a scientist. Food no more remains just a thing to eat but ingredients of an experiment. Potato fry, vegetable fry, whatever you don’t understand just fry, add all the spices and dinner is ready.

Sometimes, you may wanna learn from online videos/relatives or friends, but whatever comes out is a result of an experiment. Now there are times when these experiments go wrong, like you may blast your pressure cooker, break dishes in microwave and obviously burn your food, but that’s natural. No one learned cycling without falling.

Dry Chilli Paneer, (just require Chilli here)

I would say cooking is an art, an art which requires patience and passion. It takes time for an artist to prepare its best dish and if it’s a new artist, then it may take more time. My case is different, I am a new artist but lacks patience. One this is sure, I can be a good eater but not so good cooker. This may be happening as I try to prepare dish in whatever I have instead whatever is required also known as managing resources and I can do this even without having MBA degree, ha ha ha.

Still, I have prepared some of the best and toughest dishes anyone can prepare like chilli paneer, aalu bade, pyaz ke bhajiye and many more even south Indian dishes. Today I am preparing Roti (Pav) Bhaji. You are invited. Baad me mat kahna, bulaya nahi.

I just wanna say is, if you are a new cooker(chef), dont run from kitchen, just go towards it and see the magic of freedom. You can prepare whatever you like and however you like.

PS: be ready to eat however it is, praise yourself and one day you will be able to cook like me.
